    Medicine is a billion dollars industry and supported by pharmaceutical companies. I must agree that the U.S is not leading by example when so many of its citizens are dying due to the lack of affordable healthcare.
    I guess the C.I.A are landing to use Grenada as staging point to Venezuela …LOL…

    Dey coming to infect allyuh so you can keep the pharmaceutical companies in money, you survived this long without them, don’t be fooled.

    This is so very strange. Who asked for this? We have a prestigious medical school on the island which I’m sure provides affordable service? Grenada is not an island in medical crisis. Why send this boat here when there are millions of Americans without healthcare? This is so suspicious and weird. Please Grenadians don’t be so gullible and don’t let these people inject you with ANYTHING!!

      Interesting perspective, yes there are millions of Americans without health care but that another onto itself. I am concerned who is finding this effort and how Grenada was selected as a stop when many other nations such as Venezuela has a far dire crisis. Follow the money they may want more than to lend a helping hand.

      Just a stupid ignorant comment. The SGU doe not look after people in Grenada. It’s a teaching school for medical students. This just shows how stupid and ignorant black people are. If a Cuban or Chinese hospital ship landed in Grenada with a medical mission would you be talking such nonsense?

    Lord have mercy on my people, when will they learn? guess they will never, so many homeless people on the street in America needs medical Attention and not getting it people wake up my lord, what wrong with black people, these people in Grenada claim to be so educated. I guess they have no common sense. Bee you are a 109 percent right, that how they took everyone house and land from them because of non common sense political people that says there are running the Carribbean countries and African continent what a waste of education, kids not go to school no more look what happening to college educated fools, up in the states when you go to the he Emergency room pure white and if you are a minority they treat you like trash, what a shame slavery is around the corner again such fools.

    Don’t be fooled people all is not right, l don’t believe that this is an act of kindness, nothing in life is free… The ship should be called Camouflarge instead of Comfort. In the USA people are crying out for medical help so why abandon them and go to the Caribbean Islands to do this so call act of kindness. In my opinion something smells fishy, it’s not genuine, they’re up to something. Don’t be surprised when we start dropping dead.

    They’re spending billions WHY?

    Like l said nothing in life is free, wonder what experiments is being carried out.

    If I’m wrong God forgive me.
